Configuring DNS64
Creating the required entities for stateful NAT64 configuration on the NetScaler appliance involves the following procedures:
- Add DNS services. DNS services are logical representations of DNS servers for which the NetScaler appliance acts as a DNS proxy server. For more information on setting optional parameters of a service, see Load Balancing.
- Add DNS64 action and DNS64 policy and then bind the DNS64 action to the DNS64 policy. A DNS64 policy specifies conditions to be matched against traffic for DNS64 processing according to the settings in the associated DNS64 action. The DNS64 action specifies the mandatory DNS64 prefix and the optional exclude-rule and mapped-rule settings.
- Create a DNS load balancing virtual server and bind the DNS services and the DNS64 policy to it. The DNS load balancing virtual server acts as a DNS proxy server for DNS servers represented by the bound DNS services. Traffic arriving at the virtual server is matched against the bound DNS64 policy for DNS64 processing. For more information on setting optional parameters of a load balancing virtual server, see Load Balancing.
Note
The command line interface has separate commands for these two tasks, but the GUI combines them in a single dialog box.
- Enable caching of DNS records. Enable the global parameter for the NetScaler appliance to cache DNS records, which are obtained through DNS proxy operations. For more information on enabling caching of DNS records, see Enabling Caching of DNS Records.
